Hi guys

I have these two birds bringing up 3 chicks at the moment.

 

The male is suppose to be a yellow face bluey colour

the female is the same colour but is a spangle.

The pics don't really show the colours well, they tend

to be a turquiose blue green colour.

so far 2 of the chicks are the same as the dad, however

they seem to have a deeper blue in them.

 

What do you think.

 

Will post pis of chicks soon.

 

Cheers people

They are lovely. I would guess they are yellowface type 2's, and it is normal for the babies to be a normal skyblue or cobalt blue. Do most of the babies have white faces?

Thanks Rainbow

I'll post some pics tomorrow I'm not quite sure what colour they are.

if both parents are carrying one dark factor gene each, then a chick could end up with two making them the shade darker (mauve) but I wounder if your male has a violet gene.
